Thumbs up

:eek:
Now here is someone that knows whats he talking about. Thats a PHAT wing where can I get one of those and the whole kit? I know that kits got to be fiberglass. Your friend with the blue bottle running 14.1, did he lower the compression on the motor, and did he bump up the injector? Is that a Honda Accord next to your car with the wide body? Your exhaust looks to be rubbing the rear bumper, but other then that car looks alot better then the other one......

"Wow" is my first impression when I saw your so called race machine. Since you said they are old pictures, perhaps you have done some more mod lately. But judging from these pictures, I wouldn't call it full blown race machine.

The real race vehicle doesn't have rear seat (they are quite heavy). You should have roll cage inside your car. Plus you shouldn't use stock seat belt because of the safety reason. Did APR wind tunnel your car to custom fabricate your rear spoiler? If they did, could you provide the A.E. before and after the wing? You need to lower your car a bit too.

For the exhausts, why do you think that tuners make different exhaust system for different vehicles? Because different vehicles have different characteristic. Different engine, ecu, header, front pipe, muffler, torque convertor, all contribute to the performance. I'm not saying you shouldn't use Honda exhaust on ES300, but I know I wouldn't.

For the yellow wires, front grill (is it?) and other parts, I have no comment on that. While I may think it's ugly as hell, you may think it's a God's gift. I have no problem with that.

Post up what you have done in your parts if you don't mind.

OMG.....that car is hideous. If you wanted a 'full blown race machine', why the hell start with an ES300? That car screams RICE.
